Pros

Aerotech are a company at the leading edge of the technology that they do. They strive for the best mechanical and elecrical products and have a very strong product range. They invest heavily in what they do and have the freedom of self determination as they are a private company and do not have to respond to shareholders, this translates in looking after their employees better. For those who love technology, I would strongly recommend joining them as they come up with new products all the time.

Cons

More flexibility in the working hours is a suggestion I put forward to management so that staff can have a good balance in work-life.

Pros

Salary was fair and competitive.

Cons

Retirement benefits non-existent. The company does not match anything into your 401k. They do an employee stock ownership program. It is impossible to know how this is calculated or will be accumulated. It really only starts accumulating after many many years with the company. A matching 401k would be much more beneficial. There is only one health plan and is very costly. I believe the biggest issue with the company is it's lack of work-life balance. With the exception of night turn, everyone in the company works from 8-5. There is no option of flex time. Also the whole company has to take lunch at noon. Everyone! Admin staff, engineers, management. I have never seen anything like it where you aren't allowed to take your lunch at 1 if you are busy. The whole company stops what they are doing and runs out of the parking lot. I know of a lot of employees who are chastised for having to pick up kids from daycare in the middle of the day or need to leave before 5. They are just not flexible in any way. They have 350 employees and do not provide a wellness room or nursing room for working mothers. They seem to have very little trust in their employees that they can get their work done and have a family life outside of the company. Many employees have felt the need to look for other employment where they are not put down for having a family.

Pros

Aerotech is a solid, well-managed company that focuses both on doing the right things and doing things right. They hire and develop top-notch talent in order to make the best products in the industry. The company is small enough that there are opportunities get to know people in lots of other departments, and management is close enough to every level from C-suite to production floor that they listen to and respond to issues at all levels. The benefits are good and the culture is very much engineering and technically focused.

Cons

The company is small enough that there are not always obvious opportunities for advancement within a given department, so progression in a career can be a challenge.

Thank you for your review. Hopefully your concern regarding career opportunities has been addressed through Aerotech's use of job postings and internal employment applications. Given the nature of our business, on-site recreational and child care facilities aren't feasible but thank you for the suggestion.
